North Korea has 'likely more in store' after missile test, need tougher UNSC sanctions, says US

Firstpost  

Referring to the North’s recent launches as “increasingly dangerous provocations,” the United States on Friday called for a “resolution to update and strengthen the sanctions regime” against Pyongyang at the UN Security Council. Seoul: North Korea likely has “more in store” after successfully test-firing its largest-ever intercontinental ballistic missile, a top US official said Friday, as Washington called for tougher international sanctions at the UN Security Council. Following the test, Washington imposed new sanctions on entities and people in Russia and North Korea who are accused of “transferring sensitive items to North Korea’s missile program”. ‘Important progress’ The test is a clear sign North Korea has made “important qualitative progress” on its banned weapons programmes, said US-based analyst Ankit Panda.
